! 4 live in the midstof the malarial dis
tricts of Maryland, near the city of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous, influences Of the impure air
and water of that region.
Being naturally of strong consti-
tuition, 1 had frequently boasted that
no chills and fever or otter malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
Z. This was my experience and the con-
dition, in which l. found myself six
months. ago. Il first noticed thatI did
not feel2so sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. I felt tired and
enervated. Soon noticed distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
'ereasing in severity il, the exercise vas
more than usually violent. Then
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as bell, would feel heavy
and 1 began to,have headaches. &
ThecoM stagewasma I'd with chat
tering Of the teeth, severe rigofs passed
over me, and no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
Iiseemed to be burning up, the con-
gestion in my head produced violent
Pain:in the frontal portion and a heat
ed sensation of the eyelids, with an in
describable aching of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retehings, and when theParox-
ysms passed off was thoroughly pros
trated by weakness that was felt in
every part Of me.
I drugged myself with quinine, and
obtained some relief But my respite
was Of brief duration. i was now so
much reduced that could hardly walk
or stand upright. My disease soon
eliminated in a continued ,malarial fe-
yer which kept me closely confined for
about a week. became exceedingly
depressed and melancholy, so much SO
that lost interest in my work, and,
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me-
During all this time, it must be I'M
derstood. that did not neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar
senate: of. potash, valeriante of iron,
mercury, bromide of potassium, chic
ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni-
dia, quinine and several others. All
this; l did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
z1twa while was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new quinine, as a-specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. knew nothing of its value
to justify my having any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed
deemed it my duty to try it, SO began
its use, and its prompt and radical eff
fects were of the nature of a revelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is
fact that after only a few days use Of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abated or
ceased altogether; and in few weeks
from the time l took the frs. dose I
was cured.
This was about the first of January,
and since t!.cn have experienced no
recurrence Of the malarial symptoms
in any form. A remedy Of such ex-
ceptional virtue for the cure Of malaria
ought to be commended. and univer-
sally. made known. l have therefore
urged it upon the attention Of my
friends, several Of whom have used il
with like good results in every case,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that Icommend Kaskine
to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
